Mikkeller’s First U.S. Can is With Half Acre

Half Acre Beer Company (Chicago, IL) will release a new collaboration with Mikkeller on July 3rd.

What’s inside:

What’s outside:

The label art is a mash up between HA’s Phineas and Mikkeller’s go-to artist Keith Shore.

Availability: 

16oz/4 pack cans. Retail $14.99 at Half Acre in Chicago. No distribution.

That’s the rundown.
